I need to know how to generate a certificate in pkcs7 format with openSSL

[GOLDING,CHARLTON (Non-HP-Corvallis,ex1)]

Hi, If this can be done currently, can someone provide some details? I did look though the list:   http://www.mail-archive.com/openssl-users@openssl.org/   I didn't find an answer there, but have found a draft at http://www.openssl.org/docs/HOWTO/certificates.txt that mentions generating certificates in other formats, but doesn't give the details on how it is done.   Am I looking for something like:   # openssl req -new -key privkey.p7b -out cert.csr or #  openssl pkcs7 -new -key -out pkcs7 privkey.p7b -outform p7b   Thanks, and please forgive the clueless nature of the question.   Chet Golding Hewlett-Packard ESDO, Operations Engineering
